Shopping in Whaler's Village

Today was a shopping day in

Kaanapali

We went to Whaler's Village

Those two white buildings are the condos called

~The Whaler~

They have an awesome museum

that kept the Hubs busy

while I looked around

I loved these door handles

All I wanted today was to find a little light weight

white sweater 

and this darling little store

had it

Then we had lunch

at the Barefoot Bar

No shoes required

we got serenaded and watched people come up from the beach

and well.....
 Mai Tai's just show up at the table...

and I'm not turning one of those down

So that was it
a very relaxing day
doing what I love the most
~shopping~
not buying
(except my little white sweater)
but just browsing

tomorrow I will be working on my
~tan~

Or do you think I'm tan enough?

Kapalua Golf ~Date~

The Hubs and I met golfing

he was in my foursome

It was a work thing..

It was at the most incredible golf course in the NW

The Coeur d'Alene Resort

home of the only floating green

translation from French

~Heart of the Awl~

a fur trapping thing

anyway...

He remembers looking at the

~ roster~

having to play with a couple of women

was not his idea of a fun day of golf

boy was he wrong!

That is where we went back to get married....

So golf has been an important thing in our lives

until the last few years...

injury's, traveling and just plain laziness

have gotten in the way of our golfing

Yesterday we had one of those days

where all the exciting memories of courtship were rekindled

he used to ask me to go

~golfing~

instead of asking me to go

~out~

a good way for a guy to ask a girl for a date

right?

doesn't really sound like a date just a golf game

nobody could feel rejected then...

Before we left for

~Hawaii~

he told me he wanted us to play

a round of golf

so

 I took some badly needed

~lessons~

they paid off

thank you Sarah...I love you!

I had the best round of golf I've had in so long..

it was thrilling to be playing well at one of the

most beautiful courses in the world...

This course is the home of some really famous

tournaments

We even saw whales that stopped

all the golfers in their tracks

he was way out there but I got him

he hates having his picture taken

and I made it across

Look at these beautiful homes along the course

They have a great view for whale watching

of course it doesn't have that same
~specialness~
 that

The Coeur d'Alene does

But I felt we were on one of those dates again...

Maybe that is what
~Hawaii~
 does to us old married folk

reminds us of what is important

~Love~

Hawaiian Paradise

My computer works!!!

We got into Maui really late last night...

Too dark to see anything

We are staying at SIL's Condo

in

~Napili~

 for a few days before

heading to the

convention

This is what we woke up to

this morning

Breathtaking!!

There is no air conditioning in this condo

Yayyyyy..

Or the Hubs would have this place at 65 degrees

I am sticky but loving the heat

He is struggling...

It is a cute

1 bedroom Condo...

This is one of my favorite things about it

well besides the view

I think I want one of these

Cute living space huh?

I took all the bedding off and stored it in the closet

 who needs any of it in this humidity

There aren't bugs so I think this netting is for looks

From the bed there is a great view in the morning

notice the high power fan on the floor

The Hubs isn't unpacking for

*just a few days*

excuse the luggage

Isn't this just the cutest little Condo

perfect for a couple

Let me know if you're interested

she rents it by the week

and it's really reasonable

I pre-functioned a bit on the plane

so I slept well..

can we say

Mai Tai

We got up early and went for

coffee

Then into

Lahaina Town

the famous Whaling Village

Wish I could take credit for this picture

and art community

with so many shopping experiences

Susan Preston

Venetian Art Glass

Only available in Maui

Spendy

Necklaces start around

$450

I was really fascinated with these because

my SIL Monica

hand blows glass into fabulous necklaces also

you have to check out her site

pokabeads.com

What beautiful artwork jewelry she has too

There are tons of art galleries

I got one picture but felt awkward

taking lots of pictures

I am in love with the flowers here

plumaria?

The trees are so different

What is this?

Look at the little green

limes?

Well these are the things I have to get to the bottom of

before  we leave

We went and made tee times

for tomorrow

My favorite thing about golfing is the

~Scenery~

don't tell the Hubs that...

I am taking my good camera tomorrow

these were all taken on my I-phone today

not bad huh?

I wasn't sure if I was going to have Internet here..

so glad we do so I don't miss out on all my favorite blogs

and

Debbie's Newbie party

I only need 6 more followers and I won't be considered a

Newbie anymore, that's because of her,

Thank you Debbie!!
